Don't worry about doctors. Political power wins out in the end, and they have tons of it.
For example: for decades they've managed to resist entry of decision-support systems(which were not perfect, but still, an improvement), even though their own error rate is ~1/8.

- kamaal 9y agoA couple of years back, after being tossed around by a dozen doctors for simple infection. A few hours of internet research helped me solve my problem, better than any doctor did. Health care industry is a cartel that optimizes for profit.
- kamaal 9y ago>>Political power wins out in the end Well actually its economic power. These people just have to pray technology doesn't get cheaper with time. I remember in the 90s an entire generation of Indian workforce lost jobs overnight, for decades they fought computers and software. They bought in regulations, laws and what not. Unions fought 'computers' tooth and nail. Yes, you read it right- they were against the very use of computers. When the prime minister called for use of computers in India in the 1980s there was a national strike. Eventually it became impossible to not use computers without slipping into an economic stone age. People had to give way.
